ah I was taking it the other way. If it was flipped then I would say playing with Boon gives the impression that people are only town when they're scummy LOLIn post 3472, Chara wrote:

kinda but not exactly. I still think that with four people able to log on for the hammer kinda made it seem alarmist, but I don't really want to get into that since prism has discussed that tayl0r and lavender both could have been plausibly been offline for the night and I had vocally opposed the tayl0r wagon. I guess I'd say I can see how that's not necessarily fear-mongering but I still don't agree with townbinning him off it when it could still be a political play. I mean he doesn't even need to ever unvote there if he is scum. so he draws attention to it, gets towncred, and then if no one logs on he still gets the win.In post 3486, Chara wrote:i do remember thinking that the timing of Tanner telling everyone about the autoloss scenario, and then Puppy coming in and slowrolling his own vote... is that what you were talking about when you said Tanner was fearmongering?
you can talk to me more about the disconnect you feel there, though. I've kinda worried that my read is a bit inelegant. so I guess, if there is a disconnect there, are you sure it's a disconnect that is town-indicative?vote conspiracy-

yeah I can see that, but remember I'm responding to the point that prism was making that that moment should be townclearing for tanner. I'm not saying he's tanner for that, I'm saying that there are problems with hard towning him there. I agree with you there could be scenarios in a scum!tanner world where he's simply uncoordinated with puppy
also, fair. alarmist/fear-mongering was probably too strong a word. I think for me a big part of it is just looking at the way he's leveraging those things today that make me suspect. The comments themselves at end of day 2 are I think in and of themselves 'townie' -- but trying to insist you're locktown on it and then pushing a bad case makes me revisit the 'townie' action and feel like it could have simply been the 'safe play'
or maybe I'm just omgusing too hard with my head up my assvote conspiracy-

do you think pooky as scum is more likely to do indirect talking about their buddy than second person direct address? this sort of cognitive difference is something I've noticed in the past for some slots, but sometimes it can also simply relate back to how well they know someone and/or are likely to directly address them in generalIn post 3121, Hectic wrote:This also pinged me at the time, but I couldn't really put my finger on one of the reasons for why until overnight.

Trying to wrap my head around the second half of your pooky case, why is him deliberating for a long time on redtea scummy and not townie? If you're town offering him a free wagon, if he waits to join you for longer than it would make sense to gain towncred for being 'thoughtful' and instead it gets to the point you're finding it scummy because he's indecisive, why isn't the simpler answer that he was just town evaluating whether your push was good or bad? I ask because not the parts you quoted, but his later approach to my slot was one of the reasons I thought he had high town equity frankly, he seemed to be willing to actively evaluate the redtea slot (ie my slot) not just on prism's meta but also off NKA. If he was scum he could have just as easily pushed hard there for *whatever* reason and then made up an excuse of not wanting to back off because of replacement.vote conspiracy-

so pooky summary
scumcase:
some scummy posts day 1
some weird perspective things when talking to scum in early game
hectic sees push on his slot as scummy as well
vs.
towncase:
meta against grain for early bussing
night kill maybe "too obvious" (this one debatable I guess)
play toward my slot more likely to come from town than scum trying to pocket
I don't think it's healthy to ignore major tone issues so I'll think about the posts that got your attention, but the points of the towncase do give me significant pause when re-evaluating this slot. Like I think we can make the argument that points 1 and 2 of towncase would normally put this slot in the upper half
then again I feel like half my tanner case is tone so lol I don't want to be a hypocrite and say "oh no my tonereads are better than your tonereads!"vote conspiracy-

this game is crazy lol
I feel like VCA would point to Tweetie as being the 'least townie' slot by objective metrics but a lot of her posting from the last two days has basically been fine
I'm a little concerned that Hectic, after I explain why I think Pooky leans town and there's two replacements suddenly wants to start pushing me, at least now that Prism's gone.
Since we need some end of day consolidation I guess I'd go here HURT: Hectic
Chara/Prism was T/T I'm pretty sure, I think Pooky's concerns about Hectic's meta has some merit, but for me Hectic randomly snapping onto me toward end of day for what as far as I can tell is only due to replacements coming in with different attitudes toward my slot seems kinda scummyvote conspiracy-

and if that does happen i will personally blame myself for not remembering to point this out yesterdayIn post 2979, Tanner wrote:lavender if you're town please vote taylor
okay maybe I've played with duckling too much but a big push toward theatricality toward end of the day, particularly in a manner that could theoretically spew his slot town, is something I feel I am much more likely to see from scum in some ways? Like prism's reactions certainly feel natural to me and I can see town being alarmed, but I feel like tanner as scum would be very pumped to see this playing out and certainly would "milk" it for all it's worth. I guess I just don't really see what is hard to fake from this group?In post 2982, Tanner wrote:WHOEVER VOTES TAYLOR WILL BE LOCKTOWN FROM HERE ON OUT BY ME
As for the rambling beginning of the day...
first, I don't really think people are more townie when they self-narrate how long they are spending on their posts or when they are doing their posts. I actually think this is very often scummy. Town just do posts, and while they can observe how long it takes to do something, they don't really play it up. This is so self-referential to me it's a bit distracting.In post 2996, Tanner wrote:at the time of me writing this, it is about 7:30pm. some 2 hours since the flips were posted. i've cracked a beer open, i'm having popcorn, and i'm dead inside. i'll be posting this as soon as day three dawns. if i don't live to see the sunrise, i will instead post this in the dead thread of whatever afterlife awaits me.
i am not a clown.In post 2385, Tanner wrote:then i kinda realized that scum is in a (probably) not good position here, and scum!puppy would have to like, start setting things up for the future days?because in our last game, he was similarly in a not very good position, and i caught on to the misexecutes he was setting up (that i then got killed over and nobody listened to me and they executed my townread in lylo but i'm not saly i'm not salty at all)and here he's just... not doing that?i am the entire circus.
this quote makes me want to gouge my own eyes out.In post 1709, Krazy wrote:I guess I'd need to review more on why you're obvtown or see yourself as such, but I don't in general think [tanner] pushing obvtown [puppy] makes them town.
this not me taking a jab at krazy, his reads, nor his alignment. this is me being a salt mine.
at first, i regretted making this post, since lavender hammered right after, and i thought i would have to break a promise. this post was made out of desperation, and i thought her hammering does not make her town, because she might've been scum scraping any sorta towncred she can by beating puppy to the hammer.In post 2982, Tanner wrote:WHOEVER VOTES TAYLOR WILL BE LOCKTOWN FROM HERE ON OUT BY ME
however... puppy flipped chara.
puppy had a clear-cut wincon of "don't show up". whether he accidentally played against that wincon by not realizing it, or was purposefully posting to stall to troll us, i don't know. in a theoretical puppy/lavender world, the best course of action is to tell lavender *not to post*. it doesn't actually matter if the town figures out puppy is stalling, because by the time we do figure that out (likely very little time left on the clock), it's very very unlikely 6 people show up to shift the wagon onto him, and at any town!fight, he's dead anyway.
we were expecting lavender not to show up at all. but she did. so i think the options are:
(1) scum!lavender, either unknowingly (not reading the thread nor the scum PT before making her presence known) or knowingly (???) played against wincon by showing up
(2) scum!lavender planned this exact sequence of events out with scum!puppy in hopes that someone locktown her for it rather than trying to go for the win outright
(3) lavender is town.
i would like some feedback on this, but i do genuinely think this makes town!lavender much much *much* more likely now.
ok the beer is starting to have its effects, i'm not sure if i had anything left to say in the opening post anyway
i think i'm gonna try to stop thinking about this game until day three
does anyone still think i might be scum in this game???? does anyone dare call my puppy push tmi??????? speak now or forever hold your peace because i *will* argue about why i should basically be an IC here
(i'm keeping this line even if i die, fuck it, i'll argue with the dead thread i don't give a fuck)
ok cool see ya in two days
cheers
edit some 2 hours later:i lied. i'm thinking about this game. morning tweet is probably town for the similar reason as lavender. even if scum!tweet wasn't aware of the "scum chooses the action" thing, i'm assuming she would've at least checked the rules out when she saw my post, and i'm assuming she wouldn't purposefully ~not try to win immediately~ because she dislikes playing scum right? and now would have to play like 3 more days? ok cool
edit2:it's like 1:30am. i'm thinking about this game again. hectic has changed his avatar into a depressed sonic drinking. man i fucking feel that. i've been ctrl+fing "launchy" in his iso. man that hurts. man that fucking hurts. i am in pain. we have wronged this man. unless hectic is like, 3rd scum who was calling out both his buddies since day one???? no. hectic. buddy. listen. we are a townblocc now.
ALSO THE NEXT PERSON TO SAY THE WORDS "WE SHOULD SPARE" IS GETTING DEATHTUNNELED NO MERCY
fucking hell
fuck the triangle we're going oldschool
maybe 1499 wasn't a *complete* disaster
let's try this again.
{tanner} - bruh my role pm is green
{tweet, lavender} - town because of deadline thing. more conclusive for tweet than for lavender. but eh.
{prism} - i refuse to believe this slot is scum. if this slot is scum i am going to cry so many tears post game.
{hectic} - this is my townblocc now. prism don't @ me.
{pooky} - i am vibing town!pooky. i just am.
{chara} - i have a feeling i haven't read anything about this slot in like years. did prism say chara is town? idk.
.
.
.
{krazy} - anyone other than prism give me * o n e * good reason why this slot isn't getting nuked into oblivion today
i don't actually know at this very moment why i *so strongly* feel like we *really* need to nuke this but i do
like my two Pure Gutfeels(tm) on day two were nuke krazy and nuke puppy
i haven't figured out the implications yet what chara!puppy means wrt day one bussing though
what was the wagon
why would chara bus but regular mafia not
ok that is one reason why i might not call to instanuke krazy here
hmmm redtea was gone though
h m m
H M M
ok it's 2am now and a friend is calling me i gotta go
i'll think about this in the morning
edit after daystart:no nightkill? doesn't that mean that town gets an extra execution in genocide? that's... odd. very odd. i'll think about it. at some point. maybe.
Secondly the readslist bothers me since I think Pooky is also town so the first slot where I can see where he's coming from is Hectic. Beyond that the way he works around my slot seems very scummy, he's not really articulating a case on me--in fact, he makes good points for why it doesn't make sense for my slot to be scum off VCA but then ignores it, which is something I've seen from him *multiple* times around my slot.
Like maybe the reason this post is so rambly and long is because he needs to formulate some reason to justify a push on me because he needs to feel like he's pushing somewhere even if it's unnatural or contradicts his own thought process?
You and Hectic have both said this seems natural and hard to fake but this feels unnatural and easy to fake. What am I not seeing here?vote conspiracy-

I mean, maybe. But this is also the point to really be clear about what you do want. Do you want Hectic? If you're going to compromise after that, it needs to be clear right
I'm like, aware no one seems super interested in Tanner but I can keep batting down all the weak reasons keep presenting for him being town, and at this point Hectic's last few posts seemed slimy enough I'm open minded about not deathtunneling him. But I don't think we should all randomly expand Lavender into our pools just because she's a low volume poster when she's basically done as much to obvtown herself this game as you are probably ever going to get from Lavender in any gamevote conspiracy-

I have no idea why Nacho and Alisae both have me in their pool or low in their pool and since I'm not staying up all night waiting for whenever Nacho comes back I'm going to remind people of the points that people have already solved my slot this game multiple times.
The catboi nightkill does not come from a last scum under fire:
This fit Redtea's town meta:In post 1897, PookyTheMagicalBear wrote:if redtea/suji/krazy is the non-chara why would they shoot the person who had them as solid town and stated multiple times during D1 that they were town?
In post 551, Prism wrote:I followed along in SIN and this is a similar but more confident redtea. This makes sense given the townwin that resulted and the paranoia that crept into their thinking at the end over the more straightforward obvscum.
Hectic also is right here on some of the reasons I do not no kill:In post 804, Prism wrote:this is the redtea post, their proactivity in reads+how readily they went to bat for me-not for its own sake either, but to press someone else-lines up really well with the confidence boost that likely came with that game
they also have reason to be terrified/nervous of a catscum but they're showing no fear at all. Super town imo
Alisae can attest to the additional fact that I do not like playing scum and would never intentionally make a game longer by no killing, nor would I give town an extra fight. I know there's an issue of "no one would make such an obvious tactical mistake so it could be anyone" but really, I don't like scum. Alisae I think knows I replaced out of ali vs pine because I ran out of steam. There are 0 worlds where I no-kill into an extra day, and Datisi arguing that I wouldn't do the math to work that out is one of the main reasons I think he's scum, because I don't really think town!datisi has that thought process about meIn post 3100, Hectic wrote:Krazy is probably town because he's exceptionally adept with mechanics. Chara can attest to this. He came into a Boon game while I was hydraing with Billy Pilgrim and powersolved it by compiling all the mech together and forming an optimal strat. I very much doubt he makes the error of accidentally giving town an extra elim here.
There's the question of him nokilling for WIFOM, but that's a pretty all around losing play, like a last resort "why not" play if you really think you don't have a chance, but it then doesn't fit his mindset yesterday, where he was efforting a fair bit, and put a lot of effort into a Tanner case.
Maybe I'm dumb but he's moved up a couple of spaces for me just based on this no-kill. I think Pooky and Lavender are most likely to no-kill here. Pooky for the memes and Lavender because she miscalculated or forgot to.
now I do feel a bit omgusy about datisi and I know people want to be like hard town on tanner because of the posts above, but given I also don't townread those posts I kinda don't want to just drop that.
That being said given Hectic already solved me for town having him randomly start shading me after two replacements come in and change the gamestate is pretty scummy too
I feel like I could do VCA on why I'm town too but I think if you think about the gamestate you find me town. Not sure what more specifically I need to do to towncase myself given my slot has already been more convincingly towncased by half the game at varying occasions, in addition to
if you actually think about how I'm approaching this game, I think that like Tweet you also intuit I'm townIn post 3625, Morning Tweet wrote:I have a huge feeling that Krazy's push on Tanner today (and response to being pushed by Tanner) just isn't from scum. But i can't explain it very well
I think I can be on early tomorrow morning before deadline but I'm not staying up all night screwing with wagons. I think Hectic is the way. If you're just giving 0 explanation on why he's town and you're voting Lavender, who is a MUCH easier slot to solve as town this game, then I don't know what you're doingvote conspiracy-

Again, I don't really think this is a productive exercise. It's much more informative if you take some time to explain why you don't want to go certain places and why you do want to go other places.In post 3916, PookyTheMagicalBear wrote:so who are you willing to elim today? Pick 2 people you would absolutely bet the game on that they are town and everyone else is expendable. We need a consensus elim or else scum gains tons of EV
If I were to play your game, I'd say Alisae's slot and Lavender. But I think that's not as helpful as you may think it would be. It's making me feel SUPER weird that it feels like you're only engaging me right now when I'm the only one who has joined you on Hectic so far. Do you think we should both push somewhere else? in which case just say that dude or try to make Hectic actually happen LOLvote conspiracy
